2013

2013 is the Big Day Out's 21st year in existence, and top notch acts from around the globe have RSVP'd for the summer festival. And after 5 years of rumours, the Red Hot Chili Peppers will finally make their way back to Australia.

Also acts like The Killers, Vampire Weekend and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will all be reunited with Australian fans after 2 years away.

All of the artists named below will be doing a full lap of the country in 2013; heading to Sydney, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth in January.

And once again we're selecting 5 Unearthed bands from across Australia to join the bill. To be in the running for this excellent opportunity you need tracks uploaded on the site before Sunday 2nd December 2012 - midnight, and have QLD, SYD, MELB, ADL, or WA selected as your state. Don't worry if your tracks are still pending, we'll listen to everything before we decide. If you already have tracks up on the site you are already in the running.

There's still a heap of other Big Day Out acts to announce before the summer festival season starts but we can confirm there will be another 5 spots held open for triple j Unearthed acts - one from each state. It's the opportunity of a lifetime - and you'll also get a $750 performance fee for your efforts. Score!
